LEGO Ghostbusters set coming soon!

While LEGO is still working out the details on the LEGO Exo Suit, the sixth LEGO CUUSOO set designed by Peter Reid, they did unveil the seventh LEGO CUUSOO project, the #21108 LEGO Ghostbusters set at the recent New York Toy Fair. It’s not every year a pop culture classic like Ghostbusters has a big anniversary (June 8th 2014 is the 30th anniversary of the release of the film), so the team at LEGO CUUSOO has been working overtime to make this set available as soon as possible. 🙂

I have to say that while I was quite disappointed with the #21103 LEGO DeLorean Time Machine that was recently released under the CUUSOO line, the #21108 LEGO Ghostbusters looks excellent! Below are some details on this upcoming LEGO CUUSOO set.

This fun and iconic vehicle from the blockbusting ‘80s movie is fully loaded with all the paranormal detection equipment needed to track down those ghastly ghosts. It also features cool Ghostbusters logo decoration, removable roof, tracking computer and seats for 3 minifigures.

Brent Waller, the creator of this LEGO Ghostbusters set recently shared with the CUUSOO team that he has been a lifelong Ghostbusters fan: “As a child I would recreate Ghostbusters out of LEGO. I had a very primitive Ecto-1, Ecto-1A and the Firehouse as well as all of the main characters with LEGO Classic Space air-tanks for Proton Packs. As an adult rediscovering my love of LEGO, recreating it now was a way of recapturing that unbridled creativity of my youth.” Below is Brent in his Ghostbusters costume, including proton-tank (visit his flickr gallery for more).

The #21108 LEGO Ghostbusters set will be available for purchase in June 2014 for USD $49.99 / CAD $59.99. In the meantime you can check out the other LEGO CUUSOO sets at the Online LEGO Shop.

What do you think of the LEGO Ghostbusters set? Do you like it? Are you planning to get it when it becomes available? Feel free to share and discuss in the comment section below! 😉

Jay, it is not your fault. The moderation plugin was updated a few days ago and since then comments with smileys all go under moderation. My tech-guy is working on trying to fix it. If he can’t, he will roll it back to an erlier version. Don’t worry, I keep an eye on moderated comments and I approve them as soon as I see them. 😉

No, smileys are not spam, of course. However right now the plugin is interpreting them as something that needs to go under moderation – for whatever reason. Nobody ever used smileys as spam, nor do I have the filter set up to mark smileys as spam. It is a technical difficulty with the plugin itself. There are so many things happening in the background of a website; it could be that the plugin is broken, or it could be some compatibility issue with other plugins, or a million other reasons. Again, my tech-guy is working on it.

This set is awesome looking!! I don’t know though, it just looks a little off from the movie (then again i haven’t watched it in a while).
However, I called the Mars Rover, so I won’t get this set. Oh well.

That thing is absolutely amazing! I will be getting it ASAP. One of my favorite childhood-movies too, so that helps. I didn’t like what TLG did to the delorean, so I’m happy to see this one is so good! 🙂

What is everyone’s problem with the DeLorean set? Is it that the fact that the engine hood is so blocky? Or that the doors are fragile? And I thought the minfigures could fit inside it. Hmm… Not that I particularly like it… The figs weren’t right…

I really dislike the hood of the DeLorean, and yeah, the door is fragile and it can’t fit both minifigs at the same time. The original concept looked much better in my opinion. Fortunately LEGO seems to have learned from their mistake and did a much better job on this one. 🙂

I’m definitely getting this. It’s unfortunate that there are only 3 seats for the minifigures, so whoever draws the short stick will be hanging on to the ladder outside. But at least the minifigures can sit in the vehicle, unlike the Delorean.

I really should get round to watching that cult-classic movie…Anyways, thanks to that promise I made to collect every CUUSOO set and spin-offs, I’ll end up trying to get this. Great, now I need to get the Mars Rover, The Minecraft Nether, This and the upcoming Exo-Suit…In addition to the now-currently-overpriced Shinkai Submarine.
